Lestina's Stop and Go Does the Trick

John Lestina
John Lestina
We're getting close to the money now. Every pot and every chip is taking on much more significance. John Lestina was in the big blind for a preflop raise from button Steven Fung to 17,000. Lestina called that raise, then moved in for 43,000 on an ace-high flop of {7-Spades} {A-Hearts} {6-Spades}. Fung quickly called on a draw, {K-Spades} {10-Spades}. Lestina turned up a pair, {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. That pair held when the turn and river were running clubs that were no help to Fung.
